[issue29442] Replace optparse with argparse in setup.py

[Chi Hsuan Yen]

Chi Hsuan Yen added the comment:

I guess you were asking whether the newly compiled Python binary is able to build extension modules or not? I rebased PR 139 against the latest git master and seems it's fine. Running `make distclean`, `./configure` and then `make` builds all modules as expected. The result is the same on Travis CI and Appveyor.

About "elegant": I guess the only issue regarding elegancy in my patch is the local import in  GNUTranslations._parse(). For me moving setup.py away from deprecated modules is a good reason for introducing local imports. Does it sound OK?
